I call on Americans everywhere to raise holy war on the following Democrats. After their “Nay” votes on the banking reform bill Thursday, it is clear that they have been heavily influenced by lobbyists in Washington D.C. Here is the list:

Max Baucus (MT)

Robert Byrd (WV)

Tom Carper (DE)

Jon Tester (MT)

Mary Landrieu (LA)

Ben Nelson (NE)

Blanche Lincoln (AR)

Arlen Specter (PA)

Michael Bennett (CO)

Tim Johnson (SD)

Byron Dorgan (ND)

Primary opponents as well as a middle finger should be readied for all of these Senators.

Fuckers.

The bill on the floor would have saved millions of homeowners from foreclosure by renegotiating their home loans. A powerful lobbyist group called the Mortgage Bankers Association ended up winning in the end. Bankers celebrated the defeat of the bill.

Earlier in the week, when the vote looked grim, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin made headlines by saying that “the banking industry owns this place.”

I don’t understand the pressure from the banks. If these houses go into foreclosure, they will not get their money back anyway. In fact, the entire housing market will continue to fall and they will lose even more mortgages in the long run. Get ready for more foreclosure signs. Once again, Washington proves who they really represent.

Of course, Republican Senators voted with the banks.
